If you are a retired UAW member and would like to continue to protect your benefits and secure your family's future through voluntary contributions to UAW V-CAP via payroll deduction/Check-Off, from your pension check, you can do so easily:

First, make sure your collective bargaining agreement contains a Check-Off provision for retirees. Check with the Chairman of your Retired Worker Chapter if you are unsure.

Next download and print the attached form, complete and sign it.

Give the card to the V-CAP volunteer in your Retired Worker Chapter or to your Chairman of your Retired Worker's Chapter. He/she will get it into the right hands to begin your voluntary contributions V-CAP.

Thank you!

****UAW V-CAP is an independent political committee created by the UAW. This committee does not ask for or accept authorization from any candidate and no candidate is responsible for its activities.

That's why it's essential for working families to make our voices heard in local, state and national politics. And one of the most effective ways to do that is by contributing to our union's voluntary political action committee -- UAW V-CAP

Our contributions to UAW V-CAP are used to support the campaigns of pro-working family candidates who have earned the endorsement of the UAW Community Action Program (UAW CAP).

Why Should I Support Labor-Endorsed Candidates?
For what political offices does the local endorse candidates?

The Community Action Program of the UAW (CAP) is the union's non-partisan political arm. It is a department of the International Union.

It isn't a political party and it isn't tied to a political party. It endorses candidates, on the basis of their records and their stand upon issues that affect working Americans. Over the years, CAP Councils have endorsed Democrats, Republicans and Independents.

Local and regional political endorsements are made by the UAW's 160 CAP Councils or by other union bodies acting upon CAP Council recommendations. CAP Councils are made up of rank and file union members and retirees.
